Could have been a daughter - my memory is not great. I also had a Mosin Nagant M44 - I'm sure the noise was atrocious from under cover. :)

This was my first target with my Romanian AKM straight out of the box with 70 rounds of 1967-dated Russian military ammo....



Since then it has closed up a bit and yes it is the pic thats on Olegs website!.

The thing to remember with military 7.62x39, and 7.62x54r for that matter (which is mostly used as PKM ammo these days), is that it designed with volume of fire from either select-fire or full-auto weapons in mind rather than precision accuracy.The M43 7.62x39 round was first used in the belt-fed RPD light machine gun and Soviet military doctrine called for centre mass shooting ("aim at buckle of belt Comrade"!) so if it could hit centre mass on a man-sized target from 0m to 300m that was good enough, even with Dragunov and dedicated 7n1/7n14 sniper ammo they trained for centre mass shots ......so to be fair going by your 10" target it is pretty much doing what it says on the tin so to speak.

What may be worth trying, if your club allows it, is to put some clay pigeons in the backstop and see if you can hit them......on paper at 100m with my old '39 Mosin I can't get a group to save my life but I can hit a clay in the backstop pretty much every time.
